Cannibalism In Hayti.

ing phosphate on theGrand Cayman'
Island near Jamaica Upon the pres

OF Jamaica and the whole group OF
the West Indian Islands SIR Pewter
talks discouragiugly.
"The islands and their inhabitants
are retrograding raadly," said he
recently. They are exporting less
and less every year and the
natives are departing more and
more from civilization TIE reason |
believe to be the abolition OF slavery
In 1924 The effects Of that step were
NOT ielt by the white planters until
the old slaves began to die, and the
new generation had to be depended
upon for labor. They would not work
not having been bred to Industrious
habits, and each Old slave that died
WIS so much loss to the quantity OF
labor to lie obtained. Some OF the
planters resorted o the expedient Of
importing coolie labor and did very
well, but large number ofowners did
not do this, and estates on the island
went to ruin fast. As time passed ca
it became more and more difficult 70
| obtain gaborerS, and the evil effects OF
| this unusualidleness was seen IN yearly
increasing imports. The negroes need
not work 20 get food and house-these

reason why they work at all IS that
they may earn enough money 10 dress
in expensive and gaudily colored
| clothes. That is the only use they
have for money. Ii slavery had not
been abolished, or ii it could be re es-
tablished. the island would flourish.
"What OF the reports that the pr ac-
tice OF cannibalism has been revived
in Hayti?"
"In the main they are true. Haytl,
